We all know that rapper Jay-Z is in pretty well with President Obama. You've seen the pictures that he and his wife, Beyoncé, have taken with Obama. The president has even gone on record to say he's a fan of Jay-Z's music.

“I’ve spoken to him on the phone and had texts from Obama. Of course,” Jay-Z said in an interview with the radio station Hot97. Perhaps realizing that comment might sound arrogant, he quickly added, “Not ‘of course’ ... You gotta stop yourself sometimes. “ He started again, more humbly: “Yes, that’s happened and it’s amazing.” ...

“I don’t know if this is breaching national security,” Jay-Z said. “But when he was getting elected the second time, he was like, ‘Hey, you know, fourth quarter, just give me the ball,’ I said, ‘word.’”

Jay-Z previously referred to texting with Obama in his lyrics to “On To The Next One.” He rapped, “Had her out in Bed-Stuy, chillin’ on the steps/Drinkin’ quarter waters, I gotta be the best/ M.J. at Summer Jam, Obama on the text/Y’all should be afraid of what I’m gonna do next, hold up.”
